Based on Neil Gaiman's novel, England is separated from the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold by a long wall. Inside the wall, in a village named Wall, lives a young boy Tristan (Charlie Cox), who is in love with Victoria (Sienna Miller). One night they see a shooting star fall inside the wall, and Tristan vows to find it out for her. Inside the wall, he discovers that the star is, in fact, a beautiful blonde girl Yvaine (Claire Danes). She possesses secrets of eternal life. Three witches later hunt Yvaine for her heart. Yvaine also eventually wear a necklace with power to rule the Stormhold empire.

Best part of story, including ending:
The main attraction of the movie is it's fantasy. How a star turns into a beautiful girl and become the true love of a future king.
Best scene in story:
When Yvaine wake up in the motel and knows that Tristan went for the girl he loved, she feels unhappy and starts walking towards the wall never knowing that if she crosses it, she will turn into dust. At the same time Tristan realized it, and starts running to save her through the jungle. It is one of my most favorite emotional movie scenes.
